Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-10-16

| Arrow broke very badly at the hrs
turn, but had closed up all the gal
| made at the first quarter in 80
The half was reached in :091a witt
Arrow in the lead. Just before thu
three-auarters was reached Lee broke
| The time here was about :434
Arrow won in walk-time, 2:2O. :.
The general verdict OF horsemen II
that Arrow will prove to be the bes
PAGER in America at the end OF two
years training. His antagonist yes
terday was foeman worthy OF his
steel. Lee is a beautiful horse OF fine
action and weighs 1200pounds, great
weight for fast horse. He is seven
years old.
The big trot for the 2 :1t
class was sandwiched with
the pace. Adair had the pole, Slocum
second, Arab third. Slocum was very
lame in the nigh hind foot. A good
start was made. La Rue will not let
the horses off at poor start. Arab
soon took the lead and held it to the
half, where Slocum came up neck and
neck with him, but the little bay soon
cut loose.
The brown fellow despite his lameness
was not to be shaken off SO easily, but
crept up again. Arabs driver shook
the horse up little and he soon re-
sponded, taking the lead and passing
under the wire the winner in 2 %.
Slocum was second and Adair third.
In the second heat the three kept
we'll together to the half making a
very pretty race. Here Adair fell. off.
At the three quarter Arab cut loose
with great ease, showing that he had
not been incommoding himself very
much. Here Slocum's lame foot be-
gan to tell badly on him. Adair over
hauled him, and then passed him.
Arab won the race easily in 2:2114,
Adair good second, Slocum far to
the rear. The third heat was won in
much the same manner in . :20$4.
AN OLD TIMER.
During the changes in these races
Don Luis Lopez. native Californian,
SO years old, gave fine exhibition of
how they rode horses in his younger
days. Don Luis . wears his age
very lightly. Time has dealt
gently with him, for his
hair is as thick as ON the poll of
man of 20, and it is as black as the
ravens wing. He is 1.-the and agile
as boy. His feats Of horsemanship
were marvellous.
COMING FROM THE RACES.
At the close of this fine days sport,
there was big scramble on the part
of the six or seven hundred vehicles
on the grounds to get start for
home. The road all the way to the
center of the city presented very
animated scene. Three and four
strings of teams taking up every avail
able part of the street stretched for
several miles along Figueroa street.
The average dweller in California is Il
good driver, and although the pace to
the city was not slow, only one little
contretemps, which merely resulted
in the loss of a bit Of harness, was
heard of.
